Step 1 to Becoming a UT Tyler Student: Connecting You to Your Success

Choosing a college is one of the most important decisions you will make. When you
apply at The University of Texas at Tyler, you’re starting on an important path to
ensure your future success as a student and in your career.

UT Tyler offers more than 80 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Because our classes are small, with an 18:1
average student-professor ratio, you’ll never be just a face in the crowd. Our professors
share their expertise while nurturing your development as a student, scholar and future
professional ready to make a difference in your community. It’s no wonder that many
of our graduates have job offers before graduation.
